The number of bills proposed that could impact Washoe County School District grew exponentially Monday of this week as it was the last day for legislators to introduce their final language on how to change the law. While many of those bills could outline changes to the educational system, many are much more broad based, but would include our district. We follow many issues that may seem unrelated to education, but indirectly impact the district in other ways. Examples of these areas include child welfare, employment practices, contracts and purchasing, nutrition, social services, and transportation. So in the midst of trying to address all the educational needs we have around our own platform of early childhood, family engagement, college readiness, etc., we are actively participating in conversations on issues to reduce barriers and ensure that we don’t waste resources on unnecessary or onerous requirements operationally.
By the numbers
Bills we are tracking: 150
Days left in session 74
